Over five years after the Galwan standoff between Indian and Chinese troops in May 2020, the government has said no infiltration incidents have been reported at the border between the two nations between 2014 and 2025.
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), no infiltration had been reported at the India-China border between 2014 and 2024, even as there had been 425 such cases at the India-Pakistan border. However, the number of infiltration incidents at the India-Bangladesh border stood at 7,528 between 2014 and 2024, said official data.
MHA sources said while no such incidents were reported along the India-China border between 2014 and 2024, even in 2025, none were reported till November.
In contrast, there were 425 infiltration incidents between 2014 and 2024 along the India-Pakistan border. Till November 2025, 32 such incidents were reported at the western frontier.
At the India-Bangladesh border, between 2014 and 2024, there were 7,528 incidents of infiltration, while between January and November 2025, 1,082 such cases were reported.
On September 16, 2020, the MHA informed Parliament that there had been no Chinese infiltration in the past six months. That response had come at a time when both India and China were trying to resolve the border standoff along the Line of Actual Control, which had begun in May 2020.
Tensions between India and China had escalated after a clash between the two countries’ armies on June 15, 2020, in Ladakh after the standoff had begun in May that year, which had led to the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and an unidentified number of Chinese soldiers.
On September 16, 2020, Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai, while replying to an unstarred question from then BJP Rajya Sabha MP Anil Agarwal, who sought to know if cases of infiltration from Pakistan and China have increased during the last six months, had said, “No infiltration has been reported along the Indo-China border during the past six months.” Rai had stated this in a written response
